“I had the pleasure of working with Ron Kishen when I was President at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (2016-21). We were fortunate to hire Ron to start a new online division of the University (USciences Online) based on his previous experiences and success in this field. Ron quickly developed a new team and launched a series of graduate degrees and certificates, based on USciences reputation and history in STEM education and health professions. This was indeed a "start up". Because of Ron's leadership and the expertise of his team, we were able to quickly launch these programs. Ron was instrumental in creating a partnership with a regional health system to help support these programs. We experienced rapid growth in this endeavor. USciences made the decision in 2021 to merge with Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia (anticipated date June 2022) and Ron will be seeking other opportunities. Ron has the requisite talent, experience, and background to make a difference. He has an outstanding work ethic and easily adapts to rapidly changing situations. His creativity and strategic thinking will be an asset to any organization. It is therefore that I highly recommend Ron without reservation and with great enthusiasm. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable about online education and he has shown success in the for-profit and non-profit worlds.”
